I believe this is true as he has 97 Billion streams while Kendrick has 37 billion, he also owns 11 Billion total views on YouTube, plus an average of over 3 Million daily views, Drake is also more memed than Kendrick, as there are more memes of Drake than of Kendrick.

Compared to Kendrick having 2 #1 songs, Drake has 13 #1s and he has five Grammy's, six American Music Awards, 39 Billboard Music Awards, two Brit awards, and finally three Juno awards, leaving him with 55 total awards.

Drake has also collabed with multiple popular artists, such as Kanye West, Jay-Z, The Weeknd and Nicki Minaj, Drake collabing with popular artists not only helps him gain more popularity, it also increases his profits, as both sides gain from collabarations, and speaking of profits, Drake's net worth totals to about $250 Million compared to Kendrick's $18 million.

In the end, I believe Drake here is better as he has more streams on spotify, makes more in a year compared to Kendrick and is in total richer than Kendrick.

That is an understandable concern,However,Drake has lots of songs that are number one on the charts. For example, his album "Scorpion" had all 25 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time. His song "God's Plan" was streamed a lot and won awards. Also, Drake is the most listened-to artist on Spotify and Apple Music.

Link:

The less researched side of the issue may imply Drake’s popularity, record-breaking songs, and ability to mix different music styles make him better than Kendrick Lamar. These things show that Drake has a big impact on music and stays important over time.

When it comes to controversies and sampling and using voices without credit, Drake is well known for that, as he has multiple times been sued and blamed for using someone's voice or sampling a song without credit.

Why this is an issue is because this first ruins Drake's reputation, and this makes people see him as a bad person who steals people's music or uses their voices without credit, one account of this is in 2012 when singer Ericka Lee filed a lawsuit against him for using her voice on one of his songs, titled "Marvins Room".

Another account includes one in 2014 when Drake was sued for $300,000 for sampling "jimmy Smith Rap" made by jimmy Smith in 1982.

Another point I have is that most Spotify streams are old and are repeat listeners, but most probably most of them are old listeners or fans who no longer listen to Drake, and more recently, he's had more other controversies that lead to people hating on him.
